Struggling Bochum will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Erzgebirge Aue in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It's no vacation for neither Bochum nor Erzgebirge Aue as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Erzgebirge Aue form and stats

There's been little loot from Erzgebirge Aue's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Erzgebirge Aue only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Erzgebirge Aue, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Bochum (placed 15th). A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs St. Pauli.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Erzgebirge Aue playing away, we found seven games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 5 home wins.

Erzgebirge Aue are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 7 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Erzgebirge Aue have conceded 12 goals in their away games.
